I have done a bit more work and finished the block.
リボン刺繍の前後にビーズを散らしました。
I have made a beads trail following Sharon's advice, above and below the SRE motif.
シャロンから教わった小さな蝶を隙間に刺繍しました。
I love this little butterfly Sharon taught us.
同じ蝶です。ボタン穴にビーズを飾りました。
これが完成ブロックです。六週間の長いレッスンを、シャロンに心から感謝したいと思います。
This is my finished block. I appreciate Sharon for her hard working for these six weeks. Many, many thanks. I have enjoyed this class and had so much fun.

What a beautiful block. I have enjoyed following its progress. There is an amazing amount of work and details everywhere you look.

It's a beautiful block! What will you do with it now? It can't just sit on a shelf or in a drawer - it's too pretty!
This is really beautiful Hideko....and truly encrusted. Did yu find that this style of CQ challenged you? What were the easiest and hardiest parts for you?
Dear all,
Thank you very much for your compliments. I think I have done a satisfactory work, which I myself love much.
From the first time when I picked up the red poppy silk print I was making this block as "Red Poppy". So I used the red color and cross stitched the flower.
But at the same time, always a poem about red poppies was remaining in my mind. You may think it strange because it's a war poem during the World War I, never a happy poem. The title is "In Flanders Fields". I read it a several years ago and was very impressed then. I couldn't shake off those lines while I was working on this block. I am not sure it has been reflected on my work or not. But maybe it made me not easy to choose what to do next all the time, though I always enjoyed the course. (Jo, sorry, I know this is not an exact answer for your question.)
Besides CQ I have been working of translating a book by Flora Thompson, whose beloved brother was killed in Flanders. It must be one of the reasons why the poem stuck me.

完成ですね、おめでとう。やっぱり“Great！”
1週目から6週目までをもう一度ゆっくり読ませてもらいました。
出来上がっていく様子がわかって楽しいし、超初心者の私には理解できていなかったことが、何のことを言おうとしていたかが、ちょっぴりわかった気分になっています。気分です。
こんなに装飾されているのにやはり「和」を感じさせるのはなぜだろう…とずっと自分なりに考えていて、それが「グレー」で、水墨画や絵手紙に使われている青墨色を思い出させるからかなと思っていました。「グレー」については英子さんが「薔薇とリボン」（８/19）の中でコメントしていますね。
それが今日になって英子さんの Gear All, から始まる英文のコメントを読んで、「あっ」と思い感動し、同時に「グレー」の本当の意味を理解しました。こんなにたくさんの花が咲いているのにどうして落ち着いていて寂しげなのだろうかという理由が。
海外からのたくさんのコメント（コンプリメントよね）を読んで、みんなもじっと作品の完成を楽しみながら見守っていたのだとわかりましたよ。
